Average age of a classic/tbc player?

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion
1

I am curious - because I assumed that the average age of classic player was/is at least 40, yet the threads I see are so immature it’s beyond laughable.

I myself am 48, so i was 32 when i started WoW. I’ve seen allsorts over the years having been an avid forum dweller since the original forums; but the constant threads I see these days (boosts/changes/bots) are so childish in their arguments, it makes me think the posters in them weren’t even born when vanilla released.

So how old are you?

  1. Started with WoW Vanilla when I was 13-14. Think the average age is closer to 30.

MMORPG is a “old players” genre so Classic versions from MMORPGs…

Im probbably fairly young seeing as im 26 but I have played since vanilla so classic took me back to my childhood

Myself i’m 42, but i’m one of the oldest in the guild i’m in, the average age of my guildies is between 25 and 35

39 here. I’m not super active in chats etc, but I feel that the majority of people on my server are 30 and older, at least Horde side.

edit: for some reason i replied to Lottery, a mistake i dont know how to fix so disregard please.

It seems really hard for people to enjoy the game for what it is right? Finding all the different ways to gameify it to get an edge for… something.

Personally im really excited for tbc to be the new fad so i can just stay back in classic. Kinda feels like a new release for classic too actually.

Oh and i am 33 if anyone cares. Started wow as a wee lad.

25, started playing when Wrath was the current expansion, BUT this was back when i was in school and I couldn’t afford Wrath so I technically played TBC before I bought the Wrath CD disk, but at Wotlk patch i think. Classic player and refuse to play the game beyond Wrath.

43, originally played up until Cata now back for tbc

  1. 38 in less than a month :slight_smile:
    I played only 4 games in my entire life (if you dont count tetris), so cant realy say am gamer.
    But I got somewhat addicted to WoW tho…
    Started in winter 2008 in late tbc. Played less than a year until mid wotlk, then stoped due to real life stuff. Then somewhere 2013-2014 switch to private vanilla servers (2 psersvers) and use to play there with breaks until 2018. When real life allows me, am capable to play 6+ hours daily, but mosr of the time I can afford 3 hours max.
    I like this game and will continue to tbc, tho its not my favourite expansion. I prefer Wotlk much more.

38 here. Started 5 months before original TBC. Only played seriously hardcore from T5 in BC and through wotlk. Then quit 5 months into Cata and came back in MoP. Been a filthy casual ever since :slight_smile:

It’s funny that I’m on the younger side here, because in other games I play, such as League of legends, I’m usually older than other players I meet.

  1. Started playing Vanilla september 2005 mainly up to TBC and then Wrath. Also tried some Cata/Mop and Wod on amd off but very slightly.

I’m 35, started in vanilla beta at 18, and played Vanilla to Cata, when I quit. Came back for Classic after an 8 year break.
At 35 I am one of the oldest in my guild, although there are a few 40+ boomers too.

Boomers are people whom are in their 70’s mate. People in their 40’s are gen x. Just sayin’
